Default Channel
I see posts from like 4 years ago, but nothing more recent, so the answers there are probably irrelevant.
We just got the newer cox boxes, the ones that work through the Panoramic Wifi router, and ...

Yup.
Cox has two platforms for TV service: Cox TV and Contour. The Power-on channel feature is available with Cox TV but not Contour.
It was on our old Contour boxes. I don't remember the model of those, but there was a big black base unit, and small satellites with a vertical blue power light on each.
With the new boxes, they are even smaller than the old satellites, and there is no 'main' box, they are both these tiny boxes that connect wifi. Shows are saved in the cloud rather than on the main black box.
With the old and the new, it's still all the Contour experience. The only thing that has changed is there is no way to set a default channel.
Or, maybe what we got used to with the old boxes is they would "start on the last channel they were on when powered off". Now there's (as I understand it, haven't seen it yet) a landing screen when the first box is powered on in the morning, with weather and ads, and you have to change to the last channel you were on. Hoping to bypass whatever that new landing page is.
